SPRAGUE, OF CALDWELL, IDAHO, ASSIGNOB F ONE-HALF T0 HARRY O. KELLOGG, OF CALDWELL, EDAHO SASH PUTTY REMOVER AND GLAZING TABLE Application filed May 31, 1930.

This invention relates to means for removing putty from sashes and the like and having me ans thereon for supporting a sash while the same is being operated upon, the general object of the invention being to provide a track on the table for supporting a motor carrying member so that the motor can be moved back and forth on the table, with adjustable means for supporting a sash in such a manner that 19 a cutter carried by the motor will remove the putty from the sash and to provide an adjustable sash holding member which can be swung into operative position at the top of the table to hold a sash when the same 15 is being operated upon.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in 29 the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure l is a front View of the invention.

Figure 2 is a side view thereof.

Figure 3 is a section on line 38 of Figure 1.

Figure 8 is a section on line 8-8 of Figure 7.

Figure 9 is a section on line 99 of Figure 7 In these drawings, the letter A indicates a table which is composed of the uprights 1, the cross pieces 2 and. the braces 3, the upper cross pieces 2 at the ends of the table being spaced below the top thereof, with the rear uprights extending above the top of the front Serial No. 458,817.

uprights. Diagonal pieces 1 connect the up per ends of the rear uprights with the upper ends of the front uprights. Substantially channel-shaped members 5 are supported on the uprights 2 and form a track for a motor I55 supporting member 6 which has depending flanges 7 engaging the members 5.

The motor M has its base fastened to a plate 8 which has its bent flanges engaging the channel-shaped parts 6 of the member 6. in} Thus the motor can be moved from one end to the other of the table and it can also be moved forwardly and rearwardly.

A cutter 9 is connected with the motor i. shaft, this cutter being so formed that it will remove putty fromra sash as it is being rotated and the motor is being moved across the table.

Vertically movable members 10 are slidably arranged in the rear uprights 1, these 7'5 uprights being of channel shape to form guideways for the members 10 and brackets 11 are fastened to the upper ends of the members 10 and support a beam 12 which forms a rest for a sash B. A shaft 13 is ro- 7 tatably arranged at each end of the table and has a handle 14 at its front end whereby the shaft can be turned. Each shaft carries a pulley 1 1 over which a belt 15 passes, the belts also passing over the pulleys 16 at the lower end of the table. A. bracket 17 is fastened to each belt and to each member 10 so that the movement of the belts will be communicated to the members 10 so that the sash, resting on the beam 12, can be raised and lowered so as to place that edge of the sash from which the putty is to be removed against the cutter 9 of the motor. In order to hold the parts in adjusted position, I provide clamping means for the belts, such means consisting of substantially semicircular members 18 fastened to a pair of the cross pieces 2 and the clamping bars 19 for pressing parts of the belts against the members 18 to hold the belts against movement. One of these bars 19 is pivoted to a bracket 20 attached to a part of the table and having its other end connected by a link 21 to a lever 22 at theopposite end of the table and which is pivoted to a bracket 23 fastened to a part of the table, one end of moving the hand lever 25 to a certain posithis lever being connected by a link 24 to the other bar 19 and having its other end connected to a hand lever 25 which is pivoted to a part of the table, as shown at 26. Thus by tion, both of the bars 19 are moved to a position where they will press portions of the belts against the members 18 so as to prevent movements of the belts and thus the sash will be held in a certain position. The sash is also clamped against the cross pieces 27 fastened to the extended upper ends of the rear uprights by the frame 28 which is pivoted at its lower end to a rear extension 29 at the lower end of the table, as shown at 30. Springs 31, connected to the front part of the table, engage the eye bolts 32 passing through the frame 28 so that these springs hold the cross pieces 33 of the frame 28 against the sash and cause the said cross pieces to press the sash against the cross pieces 27.

A cross piece 34, having a flange at its upper edge, forms a guideway for the cutter 9. The frame 28 is moved rearwardly to free the sash therefrom by means of a pedal beam 35 slidably connected with the front uprights 1, as shown at 36, and having links 37 connecting its end portions with the levers 38 pivoted at 39 to parts of the table and having rollers 40 at their rear ends for engaging the wedge members 41 on the frame 28. The roller carrying parts of the levers 28 are bent downwardly so that when the pedal is depressed, the rollers are forced against the wedge members and thus the frame 28 will be swung rearwardly on its hinges 30.

From the foregoing it will be seen that the sash B is placed upon the beam 12 and then the shafts are turned by the handles 14 to adjust the sash so that a putty carrying edge thereof will be pressed against the cutter 9. Then pressure is removed from the pedal 35 so that the springs 31 will swing the frame 28 forwardly to cause its cross pieces 33 to press the sash against the cross pieces 27, the belts being held against movement by moving the lever 25 to cause the clamping bars 19 to press portions of the belts against the members 18. The motor is then adjusted to cause its cutter 9 to properly engage the putty carrying edge of the sash, as shown in Fig ure 3, and then the motor is moved on the track 5 so that the cutter 9 will remove the putty. The sash is then turned to bring another putty carrying edge in position to be operated on by the bit of the motor and this is continued until all the putty is removed.

I also provide a movable support 42 for holding the sash when the sameistobe glazed, this support bein connected to the top of the frame 28 by the links 43 so that when not in use, the support will have one edge resting upon the top of the frame 28 and the links extending upwardly, as shown in full lines in Figures 2 and 3, and then when the support is to be used, its lower edge is swung forwardly and then the support is pulled downwardly on to the bars 4, as shown in dotted lines in Figure 2, so that a sash can be placed thereon.

Weights are attached to the belts for coun terbalancing the sash and if desired, the handles 14 may be dispensed with and the weight relied on to raise the sash.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. A device of the class described comprising a table, a track thereon, a motor support slidably arranged on the track, a motor carried by the support and having a putty cutter, sash supporting means arranged for vertical movement at the rear of the table for presentation to the cutter, shiftable means for the sash supporting means, a clamping frame hingedly connected at its lower end with the rear part of the table and spring means for holding the clamping frame against a sash placed on the supporting means.
